Sandymouth Beach
10 Violet O'Callaghan

The Poolbeg towers appear larger when viewed from a distance, but from this vantage point, they seem quite small. The beach is absolutely stunning and conveniently located near the road. I can't resist wanting to pet every dog I see there. During the evening, a unique blend of grey and blue hues illuminates the surroundings, creating a captivating sight that I haven't encountered in any other country.

Sandycove beach
10 Brayden Mitchell

It's a fantastic spot for swimming when the tide is at least halfway in. You can relax on the wall and bask in the warm sunshine. There are showers and restrooms located beyond the Joyce tower, just a short 3-minute stroll away.

Burrow beach
